This was announced before, but just been confirmed now. I am not in favour of it for personal reasons as I would rather travel to other countries than Northern Ireland and Wales and Scotland.
Just saw on Sky Sports News that the FA's of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Republic have announced a tournament to begin in the spring of 2011 that will be played in Dublin. Any thoughts?

A celebration of how the game shoudlnt be played....
Think its a rubbish idea.
We are now guaranteed 3 regular games against mediocre opposition.
with out england it's a bit of a damp squib really.

They're calling it the Four Associations Tournament. What a daft name, Celtic Cup or Four Nations was too sensitive?.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
No interest, too much other baggage and from a football sence pointless. it should be strangled at birth
i actually see some merit in it. too many rubbish friendlys before to be replaced by some semi competitive action. think the first tournament will be held entirely in Dublin
Not sure about sporting credentials but makes financial sense for the FAI & Dublin. Stadium likely to be full & will attract decent away support given the short traveling distance - Dublin economy will benefit.
It should be a good competition, IMO. Scotland, Wales and NI have been on the up in recent years. We should have rebuilt somewhat following Staunton.
Wales have a very strong U-21 side right now, in three years time they could have a very good side.
Four Associations is a daft name though.

There is probably some merit in this as opposed to playing a meaningless friendly against South American opposition. Friendlies between us and Scotland usually have a bit of an edge to them.
The p*ssheads cup I think
